The model tried to smile but somehow couldn't bring herself to

Sci-fi shows in the seventies often had people dressed in outlandish spacewear, but I always took comfort from the creaking scenery and plotlines that the bleak dystopian vision therein would never materialise.  How perturbing, then, to find a survivor from the costume department of yesteryear blazoned across the webpages of Asos.  Flying cars and nuclear fusion must be just around the corner.

Asos is calling this a lantern dress:  perhaps a few fairy lights and a confused moth under the peplum would make it look less silly.
